What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns 2005 chevrolet pt cruiser. The contact stated that she could smell smoke inside of the vehicle while driving. The dealer diagnosed that the fuel line was defective. The vehicle was repaired numerous times, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 35,000.
Fuel line has begun leaking fuel every time you start the car. Have replaced fuel line and continues to leek. Searched on the internet and there is no real fix and chrysler plastic connection was a poor build making this an issue for almost every pt cruiser out there.
